Like Father, like Son

It's well known in my family that as a kid I never cooked anything for myself. I had my own personal chef named Chris.
Tonight I learned that there are some characteristics that are inherited.
Ethan decided that after dinner he was still hungry so he wanted to make himself a PBJ. Part way through, after a "little" difficulty, he asked Eliza to help spread the peanut butter. As soon as she began, he walked off and began to work on other things and would check on her progress periodically. Once she was done he thanked her and helped her clean up.
When he finally got to the table with his sandwich we asked him to give some to Isaac and Eliza. He gave a quarter to Isaac then asked if he could whisper something to Eliza. "Eliza, you do such a great job making sandwiches you should make one yourself". Eliza eagerly agreed and began to make her own.
During the process I could not help but to laugh and tell Emily how I used to do this to Chris all the time. Emily quickly pointed out that Ethan and I sure are lucky to have such awesome siblings. I have to agree, thanks bro you're the best.

Dearest John,
Thank you for the wonderful memory of your youth. I love you so very much, and am so proud of you. Just look at you now, you are a magnificent chef yourself. I have enjoyed pancakes made by you & Ethan a few times. I love you all bunches. Mom
PS. Great job Eliza on taking care of the peanut butter sandwich making. I look forward to you making me a sandwich next visit - OK? Nana
